Impact ED

Our very own ECBI team recently presented at the 2024 Conference! Centered around the theme of Reality, Risk, & Reimagining Evaluation, we presented on The 4 P’s: People, Purpose, Process, and Practice: a Holistic Approach to Equitable Evaluation. If you’d like to dive deeper into this topic, check out our Equity in Evaluation Podcast: https://impact-ed.sas.upenn.edu/blog/equity-evaluation-podcast-series

Shout out to our partners at The Pew Charitable Trusts! Thank you Claire Robertson-Kraft, Candace Kenyatta, Wendy McClanahan, Meridith Polin, Daria Waite, and George Reuter for facilitating such an engaging and informative presentation!

DiverseForce on Boards’ Cohort 12 attended their third session last week with Program Instructor, Joe Moorman. During the session, participants explored and applied the key components of effective, equity-driven strategic planning. The “CAR” framework was centered in our discussions as a tool that can help ensure clarity, accountability, and relevance are incorporated into the strategy work you engage in as a board member.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our Finance & Accounting session in April!

"Data visualization often reduces people to points on a map or bars on a chart, so framing and context that uplift the people and communities behind the data are necessary for data communicators to empathetically present their work." We often discuss about equitable evaluation practices and strategies with our partners. This report does a great job of highlighting data collection in a responsible manner!
